    1917

    I enjoyed this film up until they got into the farm and then it fell off a cliff.

    Your game of the decade?

    1) Mass Effect 2 2) Bad Company 2 3) Skyrim They were all right at the start of the decade, gaming went very very wrong somewhere in the last 10 years. Looking forward to Cyberpunk like the lone beacon of light!

    The Shooting (Firearms) Thread

    You have discovered Buckhorn Sights, most commonly found on underlevers - I love them. Your 12 year old has schooled you correctly, I am surprised no one at the club gave you advice - you would have been shooting very high! On the safe thing, you want it installed before the officer comes as...

    The Shooting (Firearms) Thread

    You have the gist of it. You put down all the firearms you will want to buy in the next 5 years and the FEO will quiz you on why you need them at the interview, they will normally start telling you that you can’t have that many so the common method is to ask for more than you need to give...

    Might be dangerous for your wallet if you go to the Target shooting show next week :D I know it will be for me, I am after a load of shotgun shell caddies now for practical shotgun - man they are expensive for a piece of plastic with magnets!

    Nice, that was for you Tikka CTR right? I seem to remember you saying you wanted to drop it into a MDT ESS originally - how are you finding the KRG Bravo?

    Yes that’s the new law coming in next year. There was another EU law that came in last year which means all deactivated guns now need an EU proof, the old UK proof is not good enough and if you sell/transfer/gift any deactivated guns without this proof you are breaking the law. Most people seem...

    Shooting Clays

    Anyone here ever had experience with Bredas? Currently looking for a section 1 shotgun for practical and it is currently a toss up between a Benelli M2 or a Breda B12i. The Breda is edging it due to the huge cut on the loading port which should aid quad loading immensely but whilst everyone...

    Spec Me An Air Pistol

    Best not to hunt with an air pistol, they are limited to just 6ftlb which is a bit lacking on the power side (and accuracy) to always land a clean killer blow. Better stick to a rifle for that.

    Where did you meet your girlfriend/boyfriend?

    At the rowing club. Girlfriend before that was at the gym, specifically in the sauna/jacuzzi. I’m a shy chap who can’t usually chat up girls but luckily in these environments being 6’4” and of athletic build meant I didn’t have to do anything - otherwise I might still be single!!

    Possible Explosion in Derby

    Arguable the best jet engines in the world plus nuclear reactors and other state of the art tech, but don’t go ruining a good joke.

    The term Social Influencer is starting to get truly annoying!

    Not really, luckily it is brutally competitive world for these influencers. If they stop posting for a couple of days, a newer, younger loudmouth will be along to replace them. Then what are all the ex influencers going to do? We haven’t seen this yet but it will come.

    1 Day in New York... What to see?

    Rooftop pool party at Jimmy at the James, it’s in TriBeCa about 200m from the Ghostbusters firestation. Go up about 7 and watch the sunset. It is free but you need to book and drinks are the usual NY expensive, fantastic views of downtown and uptown. Alternatively go to the Campbell cocktail bar...

    NHS Doctor Pensions - For the few, not the many

    I wouldn’t worry about it. In the next financial crisis which is a when and not an if, the legislation is now in place for a bank bail in rather than a bail out. This means that people with more than x amount in the system (pension or otherwise) will be the recipient of a large haircut of their...

    20 million PC gamers could defect from PCs to consoles by 2022

    I guess I am fairly rare, played consoles back in the day with Sonic/Streets of Rage when I was a kid but since getting into PC gamming in the late 90's I hate and I mean hate gaming on a console sitting on a couch. I would rather just watch TV, for me gaming requires sitting at a desk with 100%...

    CAA Drone Registration costs money!

    OP - welcome to my world as a shooter. The vast majority of the population will agree to evermore restrictions on your hobby as it does not affect them and there is a promise (although misguided) that things will be made safer and they can sit there in their ignorance. Nothing you can do will...

    What do you guys think of number plates for cyclists

    /Devils advocate mode. So what? They banned handguns and destroyed that sport in the UK for the sake of safety. If this saves a couple of lives a year then it is the same argument. /Devils advocate mode off. Obviously I don’t want either banned!

    Assault rifles and military-style semi-automatics have been banned in New Zealand

    Basically everything in life has a risk, the aim is to minimise the risk as much as possible within reason. I think in the UK we have done that with regards to firearms - the numbers killed by legally owned firearm that are not suicides is so low it is almost zero statistically. Wanting to ban...

    Venezuela the failed socialist state - Rising tensions.

    Hugo Chavez made a huge song and dance about repatriating their 211 tonnes of gold in 2011 which the eventuality got - I’m not sure how the BoE is meant to be blocking anything?
